Heinrich, gently caress yeah. Oracle posted:He sounds whiny, wheedling, nasally, high-pitched, lisping and petulant. He's trying for outrage but it sounds rehearsed and he stumbles over his words when he tries to emphasize them. His stiff hand motions don't help either. He needs some voice coaching, because it would have been a lot more impactful otherwise. Heck Yes! Loam! posted:His intelligence and competency.

Fitzy Fitz posted:I don't understand what this means but hell yeah! The job of everyone dodging these questions has been to dodge them (a) without invoking executive privilege (because only Trump can) and (b) without making Trump have to answer that question. The Trump Administration wants to not answer the question, but not invoke the privilege. They want their underlings to take the heat. Sessions instead lobbed that grenade that he's supposed to be jumping on himself at Trump. Trump has to now invoke privilege or tell Sessions to answer the drat question, while with the three intelligence officials who stonewalled the Administration doesn't have to do anything at all.

Do you recall anything important in your duty as Attorney General? No Could you talk at length about some ambassador you met who knew something about Alabama maybe? Why yes, it was 9:34PM and the wind was drifting south-southwest...
